Flexible remote working with regular travel to our London Bridge office (currently closed due to Covid-19 restrictions)
What the job involves
Our high performing Community Fundraising team raises funds through a range of fundraising activities such as walks, golf, treks and cycle rides as well as via organisations such as Rotary. This is in addition to a collection of charity-owned products developed in-house – known as “The Month Series”. The Month Series consists of three separate physical challenges - walking, running or cycling for people to take on throughout particular months of the year. We launched this series post-Covid and have achieved incredible income results, as well as driving new and engaging with, warm supporters.
We have a great opportunity for someone to join and assist the team working on The Month Series. You’ll be the first point of contact for many taking on a challenge - providing administration and support through telephone, email and social media channels. You’ll be building and managing relationships with existing and new supporters, motivating them to complete their challenge, whilst offering fundraising advice and ensuring they receive a first-class experience, from registration through to completion.
The role will involve maintaining high quality data on The Raiser’s Edge database, maintaining accurate and up to date records on JustGiving and via Facebook Fundraising, whilst ensuring information gathered is recorded in accordance with the requirements of GDPR.
You’ll work closely with various colleagues across the Community and Sporting Events teams, and members of our Communications teams, to engage with our digital adverts, and identify compelling supporter stories that will raise the profile of The Month Series, as well as prostate cancer and Prostate Cancer UK.
You’ll have the energy and passion to provide crucial support to these sector-leading products which are already on track to recruit over 25,000 supporters in 2021 and generate £5M+ of gross income. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person to grow, develop and gain valuable skills and experience in a fundraising role within a progressive and innovative organisation. You’ll be part of a passionate team fighting to stop prostate cancer from being a killer.
This is a full-time role and, whilst we mainly operate via core hours throughout the week, Monday to Friday, there is a requirement for some flexibility around occasional evening and weekend work to provide administrative support when events are running, for example, responding quickly to emails and comments from our supporters on Facebook about their experiences.
What we want from you
You’ll make a positive and valuable contribution to the success of the Community Fundraising team through excellent communication skills and being proactive in supporting our event participants. You’ll have a strong eye for detail and will be able to prioritise a busy workload to ensure we are able to deliver excellent supporter care. You’ll be self-motivated, well organised and have a ‘can-do’ approach to the role.
Why work for us?
We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.
The support we’ll provide
Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will help you learn, develop your skills and expertise, and achieve your highest aspirations. We provide everything you’d expect from a professional organisation – with agile working and a competitive benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance, cycle to work scheme and season ticket loans. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an inspirational leader to join the team, with a variety of experiences, specifically in the cultural, voluntary and / or community sector; someone who is passionate about working with communities everywhere and who has experience of being a bold advocate / campaigner for diversity, inclusion and cultural democracy.
We are thinking widely about this role, and are keen to hear from people from all backgrounds with a variety of ideas and interests. We will always want different perspectives, experience and knowledge contributing to Fun Palaces’ future. If you get the job and need additional adjustments or assistance to enable you to do it, we will work with you to put them in place.
Practically, the role is part time, with the opportunity for flexible working. We are also flexible about where you live - Covid has made it clear that we don’t need to be constrained by location. However, the job will eventually involve travel and there is an expectation that the small HQ team, of which this role is a part, will work together, at the Albany, Deptford, at least once a fortnight.
If you believe in our aim and objectives:
To equally value everyone’s creativity and every community, through working together, handing over control and challenging the status quo.
- To shine a light on and value everyone’s existing creative skills and activities.
- To reclaim local and regional public spaces for all.
- To connect people (and organisations) to collaborate for change in their communities.
- To make the most of local, regional and national strengths and assets, including individuals’ abilities.
- To shift the perception of culture to one that embraces and values everyone’s cultural participation and production, and for resources to be apportioned accordingly.
And have ideas and experience of working for long term change - you might be exactly who we need.
What skills and experiences are required?
The work of Fun Palaces HQ is multifarious and involves encouraging the creation of Fun Palaces in communities nationwide; supporting skill sharing and capacity building in the arts, sciences and heritage sectors; building a profile for the campaign both with the public and with decision makers; measuring the difference we are making; fundraising and strategic planning for the future.
The co-director role is responsible for all of this and more, and therefore demands a wide range of skills and experience. Job descriptions at Fun Palaces are very flexible and have so far been dictated by the skills and interests of the team. This is a leadership role and we would expect those interested to be able to provide most (not necessarily all) of the following:
- clear and strategic leadership for the next evolution of Fun Palaces;
- knowledge and experience of the voluntary and / or community sector;
- advocacy for the values of the campaign and cultural democracy to a diversity of stakeholders including high profile presentations and networking;
